Final Thought: I highly recommend giving this game a shot. There is no other game like it out there and it’ll be the best $20 dollars you’ve spent all year; plus you’ll fall in love with the town theme song."

HAHA YES!!! This is one of my favorite games on the 360. It's so funny and campy and can actually be pretty unnerving when it needs to be. It's the best $20 I've ever spent. It's also a LOT more than 20 hours of gameplay. The story itself is 20 hours. Then there's 50 side-missions and 64 cards to collect in an open world (mostly driving) that's about twice the size of San Andreas.

I'm having a hard time finding Earth Defense Force 2017. Borrowing it from a friend and it's nothing but amazing. If you ever see these two games in stores, pick them up without hesitation.

You might as well just say IMO the best consoles are the PS, PS2, PS3 and PSP.

I'll save my judgment for SMG2 seeing as it isn't out in my country yet. Besides that are ridiculous, Metroid 3 stunk, Uncharted 2 is clearly the best game so far of this console generation and LBP isn't even a game its just a platform for making your own games.

the playstation consoles are the best,easily, but I think SMG2 is the best game this gen, hands down. I played Bioshock on the 360. I have all three consoles, it's just my favorite games happen to be on the PS3.

I wouldn't say Earth Defense Force is a "Best, Worst Game". It's just a pretty good game period. If you like co-op and just mindlessly blasting bad guys, then you'll have plenty of fun. Just because it doesn't have good graphics would I consider it bad. I would put it under the category of "Best Low-Budget Games".

even though the article was kinda going for humor i wouldn't consider anything about any of those games to be truly bad. for a "best worst game" theres more fun and creativity in something like edf than a stack of overhyped swill.

i understand what the author was going for but it should have been "best cheap games" or something.

"even though the article was kinda going for humor i wouldn't consider anything about any of those games to be truly bad."

Have you not seen or played Deadly Premonition? If a game has ever been "truly bad," that would be it. There are quite a few parts that are so bad that they are "charming" and funny, almost making it worth the $20. There is nothing, however, that is actually well done in the game. Gameplay, graphics, story, voice-acting, controls, etc. are some of the worst I've seen since 1st generation ps1 games (the bad ones).

Ps1 title Incredible Crisis springs to mind. Gameplay consisted of nothing but a collection of awful, shallow mini-games, but the madcap Japanese charm that was prevalent throughout was hard to deny. It could be pretty damn funny.
